Genuine Fred The Original DESK DUMPSTER Pencil Holder with Flame Note Cards

The "dumpster fire" as a metaphor, that everything is always and predictably terrible, can really capture the day-to-day insanity that comes with working an office job. Here, it's nice to be able to point to something so universally recognized to relay that sentiment to a co-worker when asked, "How's it going?" The construction is solid, with the laser-cut wood assembling easily and neatly to form a pretty stable desktop caddy. The paint looks good and seems durable, with added details that give it even more personality. The fact that the lids actually function is a neat feature that adds to the practicality of its function as an caddy, but also offers some interactive fun for fidgeting. There's not a lot of room inside for knick-knacks but maybe just enough to store the smaller things you need most often. The flame-shaped notes are fun little additions. In fact, they're so integral to the design that you don't want to use them because there are only so many (and good luck finding a suitable replacement!). My wife loves it and enjoys the compliments it brings.

Given as a gift but from what I've seen in the photos they sent, it was easy and quick to assemble and looks great and sturdy on their desk. It's a lighthearted way to show someone you empathize while they stay organized. Perfect for a stressed out colleague or friend, the teacher that has way too many responsibilities, or even for yourself!

I bought this dumpster for a friend at work and we love it. The kit is made out of solid material, and you punch out the pieces and build it. The directions were simple to follow, and it was easy to build. It looks great and the stickies looking like flames is an awesome touch.

Cute and funny but you do have to assemble it yourself. The pieces fit into each other but I had to superglue the top middle piece that holds either lid to keep it in place. Otherwise it is sturdy.

IT husband loved it! There's the meme with thr dog sitting there in the fire and is like, this is fine... That is my husband's favorite and this is as close as I could get. We all know there are dumpster fires at work... Now we can have the visual. Great design, great value. Not sure how sturdy it is but then again it's not meant for a lot of extra.

Got as a little white elephant type gift, they loved it! Assembly required but they enjoyed putting it together and it’s adorable.

Adorable! Perfect for anyone who works in a dumpster fire!

Easy to assemble, good quality, value for your money, and good gift idea.
